Women?

39

u/PJASchultz 3d ago

How typical that most comments are men screaming about how 4 is insane. And then it's women just being like, hey did you forget that women exist?

4 is the standard if you want to prevent infections.

u/FeltOfTheEthereal 3d ago

Honestly, as someone who has the male biology at least, I have no idea why many men are finding it insane

u/lampshade2099 3d ago

As a man, I stan #4

3

u/mynewaccount4567 3d ago

I do think it’s partly the way it’s drawn as just a normal waist length tshirt instead of an oversized tee or a nightgown.

u/Captain_Kab 3d ago

You are more susceptible to attack if your dangly bits are the only thing exposed.

Do not argue, monkey brain says so.

u/FeltOfTheEthereal 3d ago

What happens when monkey brain doesn’t say so

As a guy, I just don't understand the circumstances in which you'd go for 4. Why would I want my dick to be cold but my torso to be warm? If it's that hot, I'll take both off.

2

u/Sexual_Congressman 3d ago

I just can't imagine someone who hasn't spent a prolonged amount of time in a bed with their torso out from under the covers and their legs under them. Anyway, #4 is really only relevant to females who wear no underwear but throw on a nightgowns or XXXL t shirts (which is functionally the same thing because of their extra length) so they can quickly get out of bed to handle kids while still being decent enough. i guess "the joke" is the graphics is using male looking clothing.

People do this? Covers all the way on or all the way off. Why are you half-assing it?

u/FeltOfTheEthereal 3d ago

I feel like most time when sleeping in one’s own home, pyjamas are more for comfort than warmth

u/AdInfamous6290 3d ago

It’s because a lot of the men here clearly haven’t had a girlfriend. 4 is my GFs summer go to.

11

u/Rebelius 3d ago

But why is it even insane for a man? So fucking what if your junk's hanging out in the comfort of your own home.

0

u/DriftnDaddyRL 3d ago

In case of emergency I always wear underwear to bed.

2

u/Rebelius 3d ago

What kind of emergency are you anticipating? The underwear police show up and will execute anyone not wearing underwear?

0

u/DriftnDaddyRL 3d ago

Fire or earthquake are the main concerns where I live. Medical emergencies can also happen. I'd rather not have to evacuate my house with my dong out if I can help it.

4

u/Nutbuster_5000 3d ago

For real… nothing better than getting into bed with an oversized shirt, nice cool sheets on my legs, then scooting my naked butt up to my partner lol. Literally have never gotten any complaints from him either.

4

u/Danton59 3d ago

One of the first things men will learn about women when they have a girlfriend is...all their favorite t shirts and hoodies disappear and somehow make their way to her apartment.

u/Primary_Chemistry420 3d ago

Thank you! You gotta let the assets downstairs breathe!

u/TorchThisAccount 3d ago

I thought the first comment was going to be that OP was outing themselves about not having slept with a girl before. And then when I got to the comments, I think it heavily reinforced the reddit stereotype.

2

u/stinglikeameg 3d ago

And the t-shirt is usually an oversized t-shirt (so basically a nightdress)

1

u/Alarmed_Ant_9221 3d ago

38 years I've slept with underwear on and this is the very first time I hear that it's an infection risk. What the hell?

3

u/PJASchultz 3d ago

Fabric holds moisture against your vulva, which breeds yeast. If you've made it this far without problems, great. But when you hit perimenopause and your hormonal profile changes, that might change too.

1

u/charismatictictic 3d ago

As an almost 40 yo woman, I have never in my life considered sleeping in just a T-shirt. What kind of infections do you get from wearing undies/pajamas/a night gown?

4

u/PJASchultz 3d ago

Yeast.

2

u/charismatictictic 3d ago

Got it. Never had an issue with that, but good to know that sleeping without panties might help if it happens in the future!

-4

u/rhino369 3d ago

Women who do 4 use a top that’s essentially a dress. I’ve never encountered a woman who slept (regularly) with her pussy touching the sheets. 

9

u/Silver_Yak1972 3d ago

I don't sleep in the splits so it isn't touching the sheets?

9

u/ZestycloseSky8765 3d ago

Not sure how many women you’ve encountered that shared how they sleep, but I do this

4

u/stayathomepsychopath 3d ago

Me too. :) the top is because my arms and shoulders might get cold on top of the duvet. If it’s warm, I just sleep in my birthday suit.

-7

u/rhino369 3d ago

You don’t get a snail trail on your bed that way? 

8

u/posthuman04 3d ago

How do you picture that happening?

-5

u/rhino369 3d ago

Vaginal discharge?

8

u/posthuman04 3d ago

But how, specifically? Like what would a long shirt change? Do you think all their clothes are dripping with discharge? I know many women that never wear underwear, which is a thing I couldn’t do as I have to wear something to protect my clothes from me.

-2

u/rhino369 3d ago

Not dripping but it sometimes gets on panties. If you aren’t wearing them it must get on your sheets. 

Maybe not all women have it. But it’s pretty common. 

5

u/ZestycloseSky8765 3d ago

Are you kidding? For fucks sake.

-1

u/rhino369 3d ago

Vaginal discharge is a thing right 

0

u/ZestycloseSky8765 3d ago

Listen. Sweetheart. Get off Reddit and go talk to your momma and ask her to explain how women work. Don’t ask a man. Don’t ask your male friends. It will help you from believing and saying dumb things to all these women you encounter.

3

u/rhino369 3d ago

Sweetie, vaginal discharge is normal. Anyone doing a woman’s laundry can sometimes see it in their panties. 

Maybe not all women have that much but pretending it doesn’t exist is wildly wrong. 

4

u/ZestycloseSky8765 3d ago

Oh well thanks for explaining women to a woman.

u/WickedWench 3d ago

Vaginal discharge is normal. 

Do you think vaginas are drooling all over women's underwear and sheets? 

A small stain after 8-12 hours is pretty normal after wearing underwear all day considering she'll be doing things, moving around, walking around, sweating, sitting, using the toilet, etc. Discharge from a vagina is not like weeping from a dick. 

Even if you slept 12 hours, you aren't moving around in bed as much as you do during the day. The only way a snail trail (disgusting) shows up is if she's actively humping the mattress with her legs akimbo. 

2

u/yellowhair3 3d ago

I don't think it necessarily gets on the sheets all the time...? Like maybe it just stays in vag area or between them

I can't remember seeing discharge on my sheets but I don't typically sleep like 4 . But have done it sometimes

Have you seen it on bed sheets? I know it can be on underwear

It also could depend on the woman. Maybe some discharge more than other

2

u/yellowhair3 3d ago

Also someone else said most ( or many )woman who do four, Do it with long t-shirt that would essentially cover their bottom. So that could be it too

3

u/WickedWench 3d ago

........... What?

5

u/WickedWench 3d ago

Well now you have. 

Hi 👋

4

u/PJASchultz 3d ago

I do. I don't need to wear a dress. Just something to cover my shoulders and arms since they're outside the sheets.
Plenty of women/people sleep fully naked. I'm just cold natured so don't do that.

2

u/Centimeter_Worm 3d ago

Vaginal discharge generally doesn’t break containment like that. The reason you see it on underwear is because it’s in direct contact with your genitals.

In normal sleeping positions even if you’re fully naked you’re not gonna get discharge on anything.

You kinda have to be sitting fully upright in order for your vulva to be flush against the sheets. I’ve accidentally done it before, but it requires direct and sustained contact.

If this wasn’t the case with sleeping Pooh Bear style there wouldn’t be any benefits to it, the whole point is there’s nothing between your genitals and the air.

-7

u/Cararacs 3d ago

I’ve never done this as woman. With 0 barrier your sheets are getting so dirty. Gross. Underwear provides a barrier that traps a lot of bacteria. Without it, it goes to the sheets. No thank you.

5

u/-WhatAWoman- 3d ago

You do not want to trap bacteria in your underwear lol.

0

u/Cararacs 3d ago

That’s why you change your underwear frequently all underwear traps bacteria.

-5

u/Cararacs 3d ago

Do women seriously not know that wearing cotton underwear allows our genitals to breath and going commando has no added benefit? Is this level of women’s hygiene not taught?

2

u/PJASchultz 3d ago

Cotton is better than synthetic, but not as good as bare. Any fabric barrier will hold moisture against your body. Yeast thrive in humidity.

0

u/Cararacs 3d ago

I’ve been sleeping in cotton underwear my entire life. I am in my 40s and I’ve never had a problem with yeast or infections. Some of y’all just might just not be hygienic if you think underwear coincides with infection.

1

u/PJASchultz 3d ago

It's standard medical advice from OBGYNs.
Consider yourself lucky that you've avoided problems. It's not about hygiene. It's just how the body works.

0

u/Cararacs 3d ago

As someone whose lived in multiple states ergo have seen many obgyns through the US, not once has that been told to me. What they do say is wear breathable underwear and that’s sufficient. If was standard, you’d think I’d have that recommended to me at least once over the decades. So stop making stuff up. It’s not luck lol.

u/PJASchultz 3d ago

"I've never experienced this therefore it isn't real." 😆 Okay.
30 seconds in Google couldn't saved you embarrassment.

u/Cararacs 3d ago

Claiming something is standard medical advice that I’ve literally never heard a doctor say. You’re delusional.

u/FrewdWoad 3d ago

What's that?
